Anterior chamber paracentesis during intravitreal injections in observational trials: effectiveness and safety and effects.

Author
Abstract
:

A paracentesis prior to an intravitreal injection is a very safe procedure and can prevent IOP-spikes after injections. As these spikes pose the risk of inducing glaucomatous changes particularly in patients with frequent injections and/or with a risk profile, a regular paracentesis prior to an injection may be considered and discussed with the patient.
